One is something known as the "imposter syndrome." ... What's the other one?
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

I (think of myself as ) am a woman programer and I can think of several other CPians, who are also. You better not say anything wrong (bad) about us or something may happen. Be prepared and be scared !

I meant no offense
My best mentors in learning, programming and on the job have been women to whom I owe a debt of gratitude.

Nice job copying this[^]. Excellent ctrl+c/ctrl+v skills.
No offence, but the reason I even looked for plagiarism is that I just couldn't believe you had suddenly become so articulate. You could try adding errors the next time you "borrow" some text without attribution.

Damn. We still don't know what the second thing is.

This deserves more upvotes.

Are you saying that W7 didn't look like a polished product?

I wouldn't want to use W7 on a tablet, there are other OSes out there which do that job just fine. That said, MS should always have produced one product for tablets and one for the desktop. One-size-fits-all was a daft idea from the outset.

By "product", do you mean "turd"?

I was asking if you did. Besides, I couldn't even tell which "product" the "it" referred to in that sentence, I suspect some intentional ambiguity.

An iPhone for both ears, stereo iPhones it could catch on, I'm sure Apple will love the idea.

Doesn't surprise me at all: Win 8 was a phone (maybe tablet) OS designed for touch input.
Most desktops have much bigger screens, and no touch - so it doesn't work very well for them, and take up reflected that.

It's good that MS can realise it made a mistake and go back to what worked. 8 was an attempt to push computer users into a tablet paradigm, and it just doesn't work.

Now they should put menues back in Office.
